Globus crashes Earth

Do not get fooled by the title.

I had several installations of Fedora on my computer, and one of them was named 'Fedora-Earth' in the Grub menu. It was my favourite.

It crashed today when I was trying to install the Globus toolkit.

It contained numerous package installations, served as a Primary Domain Controller, survived me trying to hack it, had numerous kernel modifications, and held the record for the longest surviving OS in my laptop.

It is survived by two of it's disk image copies, Fedora - Green and Fedora - Genie, both created 4 months back.

Let Earth rest in peace.

Long time, no see - BSNL #@!~^

Im back after a long time. And its the same old excuse - BSNL. I haven't got anything that can be called "broadband" for 2.5 months now. The time line:


1 week - phone line was dead
1 week - no internet connection
4 weeks - internet connects every wednesday and thursday (I complain on monday, BSNL "repair"s on tuesday, things stop working on friday, and its no use complaining on week ends)
2 weeks - internet gets disconnected every sixty seconds - I don't know how you technically explain it, but it was exactly multiples of sixty seconds
3 days - surprise, internet works fine
4 days - back to no connection
1 week - I get a 6 KBps connection


Intha kandraavikku naan kaasu vera ketturen. I finally decided to kick BSNL and get a Tata Indicom. BSNL has more resources, sure. Problem is, IT SIMPLY DOESNT WORK. For people who may support BSNL in the comments (Glam): dont, or i'll heck you when I get the chance.


One good thing - I learnt to live outside blogosphere (I never posted anyways, but I was addicted to surfing blogs). Only reason I'm posting now is that theres an "I Too Have A Blog" Category in latecut, and I dont want my blog ending up there. Hail Jegan (and Guru?).
